Toyota Granvia unofficial owners club

This site is dedicated to the Toyota Granvia, a luxury four-door people carrier (MPV) available in the UK as a grey market import from Japan. If you have general or mechanical questions about your Toyota Granvia, this is the place for you.

Could be your post code, or profession? There's quite a few things that can impact it.

I'm surprised by the price still though. My Isuzu Bighorn import was only £350 last time I insured it with Admiral (about 2 years ago) and I had less no claims than you, and I had a quote not long ago from Adrian Flux on a Subaru Legacy GT-B (an imported twin turbo 280hp monster of an estate) which came in at £650 or thereabouts fully comp.

I have trade insurance now so I might be a bit out of touch with current private insurance prices to be fair - I know insurance tax has gone up 3% in the government budget though, as I just renewed yesterday and got hit by the increase!

Have you tried any of the 'high street' insurers? I've always found Admiral and Direct Line to be well priced on imports (I've had a solid string of them for a fair few years now!), I can't comment on their service should you need it though as I've never crashed, touch wood!

I have comp insurance with Lifesure Group 01480 402460 who specialise in campers/caravans etc. My 1998 LPG 2.7 petrol Granvia converted commercially to campervan cost me £230, they seem easy to contact and efficient. Have no claim with them so can't say how good they are ! Hope I never have to find out !!

I have a 96 3.0D 8 seater and pay around £200 fully comp (full NCD, based in Suffolk, £250 XS) with Chaucer Direct. Easy to contact (they are in Whitstable) premium stays competitive year on year (unlike some others who start low to lure you in and then hike it up on renewal)

Just insured my 98 Granvia 3.4 auto 6 seater with wheelchair hoist with Direct Line ( The Red Telephone ).for £316.Churchill quoted me for follow up insurance £550,so a saving of £234 just by trying a few different companies.
